The holder of the Nickel of Fault (deprecated) or Pfennig of Pfault is given the dubious honor of being the fperson to blame for everything that goes wrong while that fperson has fpossession of said coin.
In the 89-91 fperiod, it was the "Nickel of Fault". At some fpoint since then, it has been renamed the "Pfennig of Pfault".
The Pfennig is not, in fact, a pfennig. (Capitalization matters, people!) For a while, an item that used to be a Zimbabwean bill representing a large number of Zimbabwe dollars, but due to restorative measures became over 90% duct tape. This was replaced by a 100 Czech crown note with some coin superglued to it, but that was soon lost, and replaced with a garlic-flavored condom that may or may not have been sold by KGB at the 2011 Useless Stuff Auction. More recently, several American pennies and a string of duct tape have combined forces to become a greater tool for assignment of fault.
The fperson invested with the coin may be granted an Exception. (As in, "everything is your fault except...")
More recently it has become known as simply "The Thing". I think Jared has it this week.
